FWIW, I'm running 10.5.8 on my G4 Cube, with a 1.7 Ghz upgrade from OWC, 1.5 gig ram and a Radeon 7500. It's as snappy as my C2D MAcbook Pro late 2008 on everyday tasks, but cannot be trusted for HD vid and such, but to ageing 100Mhz bus. But I still love my "PowerCube" to bits! Cheers

Yes, I know. Only problem; I seem to have misplaced the CPU... *Grrrrrr* Same problem applies to the "SuperDrive"; the original optical drive have gone missing as well, and the replacement Pionner DVR-K06 has developed the infamous dead CD-ROM-laser. Now I use an external Blu-Ray burner...

I think I might have cracked my own problem; enabling me to install OS 9.2.2 without my original cube CPU, and without installing on another computer: 1. re-install Mac OS 10.4 (Currently OS 10.5 is installed) 2. Install OS 9 in Classic mode (or whatever it's called) 3. Install Toast 4 in OS...

Hi, I've got a Cube, upgraded with a PowerLogix 7448 1.7GHz CPU card. Now, I'd *really* like to be able to install OS9 on this machine. But I can't seem to get the damn thing right! According to PowerLogix, ONLY version 9.2.2 works on the 7448 I do *not* have the "Firewire Target Disk" option...

It's a spoof over Henri Magritte's "Son Of Man" - a famous Belgian artist

The ones from Trag have a thin, red line on the one side. That's the positive side. Cheers, Anders

I'll venture a guess; you've put the capacitor in backwards. The tiny stripe on the capacitor should point towards the "+" on the motherboard. I *think* this is opposite the factory capacitors you removed from the SE/30

Definitely looks like a video-board (graphics-card) to me

The EPROM reads: Am27C64 -155DC 12.5V PGM 913K7NP Cheers, Anders

You need to format the drive in a computer running system 7.x or equivalent. But, popping it in a card-reader on the OS X machine afterwards, gives read- and write access to the HFS-partition. Don't know about the emulator, though.

I have this board that I'd like to put in the IIsi (currently, there's an Xceed Color30HR, and I feel I'm wasting a perfectly good SE/30 grayscale-capable card on the IIsi). Now, my problem is that the sticker fell off the EPROM some time ago while the card was shelved, and I fear the EPROM has...

I've bought mine off Trag (Jeff) here on 68kmla. Prompt shipping, and a fair price (15us$ I think). I live in Denmark, and I'd like to volunteer my labour to a fellow enthusiast. You provide shipping both ways, I recap in my spare time. I've bought all the proper equipment, and I might just as...

Does anyone know, if OpenStep is a legal piece of software to share, and if so, does anyone have it? Please PM if you have it. and you think it's OK to share.

With my limited knowledge of SCSI standards, coupled with my first-hand knowledge of what have worked for me in the past, I can attest to the fact that as long as the drive is a 50pin drive, it's SE/30 compatible. In fact, you can take a new, ultra wide 80 pin driven and with the appropriate...

I myself are up for two or three drives, depending on price and capacity. /Anders

He, true, but with a new 6" silent fan and a bum ear, I'm anybody's fool! And I agree, *never* leave an SE/30 without ventilation.

I can attest to the first adaptor listed in your post above. It's the same I've used with great success for my "SSD in an SE/30"-project! Please note; it's meant for full size HDD's, so there's a cut-out in the PCB for the power-cable going to the HDD. I find this clever and cool. Cheers, /Anders

Ahh yes, speed, I forgot. Well - yes and no. It's faster then the stock Apple 40 meg, but no more than the IBM 9gig. I suppose the SCSI bus is hindered by age, and by a dog-slow system bus. Also, the I/O conversion from SCSI <> IDE does nothing to improve things either. I'm in the market...

Hi all. Just wanted to share my experiences on SSD's (Solid State Drives) and my SE/30. My SE/30's stock Apple drive was getting *very* noisy indeed, and a replacement 9gig IBM didn't improve things at all. A while ago on eBay, I came across a vendor flogging 2.5", 8gig IDE SSD's, from whom I...

I can make a stuffit-archive of my installed version. Not sure which version though, so should you still want this software, let me know, and I'll dig it out for you! Cheers, /Anders
